Has anyone had a chance to checkout this new helmet from Shuberth. Looks awesome!

I looks like an open face helmet with a big visor...looks good...and at 450 grams it's less than half the weight of the lightest full face helmet.

It would be a good helmet for scooter riders.

I'm certainly intrigued....

Definitely innovative if nothing else and I agree that field of vision would seem to incredible.

Big concern would be the structural integrity during a face plant. Is that "ring" going to hold up as well as the traditional chin bar???

And what the hell is the price gonna be on that bad boy??

I have one

For an open face helmet he's very quiet, and the visibility aroud is huge compared to my full-face helmet.

This one was taken this summer, on our last trip to the south of France, 34Ã‚Â°C in the shadow... The J1 was a (safe) blessing.
